Understanding the genetics of breast cancer is important for determining who is at greater risk for developing the disease. Mutations on two genes: breast cancer gene 1 and breast cancer gene 2 account for most of the inherited cases of breast cancer. By understanding this risk, women and men can better protect themselves from developing this deadly disease.

Just 15 years ago the idea of a cancer-fighting drug that could kill only cancer cells seemed like a dream. Today, thanks to research in the area of cancer genetics, that dream has become a reality. Today many women have become breast cancer survivors, thanks in large part to the targeted treatment provided by a new cancer-fighting drug, a drug called Herceptin.

The concept of a campus party has probably changed a lot over the years. At the turn of the century, a campus party was a prestigious event - attended by the Fraternity brothers and Sorority sisters and a sterling example of good manners and prim and proper behavior. Any remnants of that attitude went right out the window in 1975 with the premier of National Lampoon's "Animal House".

Campus theme party ideas are numerous in number. There will be ideas floating in the back of your mind and then there will be other people giving you ideas as to what to have. These parties are pretty much always happening on campus and you have to make sure that yours is so much better then everyone else's, otherwise you will not have as many visitors for your net party.
